This counting scale is designed for counting larger parts, 10 grams or heavier.
If you taped two nickels together from the pile of loose change in your desk
draw is very close to 10 grams. If you're an electrical contractor and
trying to control your material cost the FC-20Ki and accurately count out the
exact number of power receptacles, circuit beaker or other large components
so your employee has enough parts for the job you are paying him to do verses
supplying him the extra parts he takes home to do his side work. The FC20Ki
is a high capacity counting scale allowing you to weigh up to 50 pounds of parts
on the scale within damaging the weigh sensor.

You must carefully select the correct model counting scale for your specific
application. You also want to select the correct model that can count
as many various size/weight parts so you can get maximum usage from your counting
scale. Scale manufacturers make many different models all having varying
sensitivity to cover the unlimited different part people want to count.
Just like car manufacturer's don't make just 3 different automobiles to meet
all the transportation need of the world, scale manufacturers don't make 3 different
counting scale to cover any part a person would ever want to count. If
you're not sure call us at 978-521-7095 and a counting scale specialist will
assist you in the proper selection. We'll ask you immediate "what
is the smallest part that you want to count" so we can determine the sensitivity
needed.. We recommend whatever the smallest part weighs, you want a counting
scale with 5 times the readability. If your part weighs 10 g (2g, readability
of the FC-20Ki multiplied by 5 equals 10 grams) or greater you'll be able to
accurately count the parts with the FC-20Ki.

If 70 or 90% of the parts you're counting are in the range of 10 grams then
the FC20Ki is probably your best selection. If you have parts that weigh
equal to a standard paperclip (a paperclip weighs about 0.4g) the FC-20Ki won't
be sensitive enough to count a handful of paperclips. To get a better
understand how counting scales work read the detailed write-up we did on the
AdamLab CBC Series
Counting Scales. We also have a few youtube videos showing the HCi counting scale and a great video on how to use a counting scale.

The FC-20Ki features a large 11.8" x 11.0" stainless steel weighing
You'll have 20,000 grams weighing capacity that increments in 2 grams.
